Info -

  • The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) produces the protein and lipid components of the cell's organelles.

  • The ER moving proteins and other carbohydrates to wherever they are needed.

  • There are two types of ER - rough, which is coated with ribosomes, and smooth, which is not.

  • Rough ER is the site of protein synthesis.

  • The Smooth ER is where the vesicles carrying newly synthesized proteins are budded off.
